AI for Finance Teams
Sharper forecasts. Faster close. Clearer insight.
Finance teams are sitting on one of the biggest AI opportunities in any organisation — and most are only scratching the surface. According to a recent McKinsey survey, 44% of CFOs used generative AI for more than five use cases in 2025, up from just 7% the year before. But there's still a significant gap: while 85% of CFOs are optimistic about AI's potential, 61% of finance teams haven't implemented it into their workflows yet.
The businesses that have moved are seeing real results. McKinsey found that finance professionals in organisations with robust AI adoption are spending 20–30% less time on data processing, freeing them to focus on strategic work that actually drives business value. Deloitte's research shows that AI-powered financial automation can reduce month-end closing time by up to 40% and improve forecast accuracy by 20%.
What becomes possible?
An MIT/Stanford study found that AI is cutting monthly financial close time by an average of 7.5 days for firms using the technology, with AI-using accountants supporting 55% more clients per week than non-users.
Accounts payable and receivable are being transformed. AI adoption in AP processing increased fourfold in 2025, with 82% of companies using AI in accounts receivable reporting productivity gains. AI is now able to automatically match invoices to contracts, flag discrepancies, and accelerate the entire order-to-cash cycle.
Fraud detection is another area where AI is proving invaluable. AI systems can monitor transactions in real time, detecting anomalies and suspicious patterns that would be impossible for a human team to catch at scale. Mastercard, for example, uses AI to track and block fraudulent transactions before they go through.
And perhaps most importantly, AI is helping finance teams move from backward-looking reporting to forward-looking business intelligence — using real-time data analysis and predictive modelling to inform strategic decisions rather than just documenting past performance.
